Conference/Symposium: 2017 Princeton-CI Summer School on Combustion

Abstract

The Summer School on Combustion was conceived by recognizing that while combustion is an interdisciplinary subject, due to limitations at individual institutions the training received by most combustion students and researchers has not been sufficiently comprehensive in terms of foundation and technological knowledge to equip them to make breakthrough discoveries. The Summer School therefore aims to offer advanced graduate level courses to remedy this deficiency. For this session we shall offer our traditional foundation courses on (1) Combustion Theory and (2) Combustion Chemistry, to be, respectively lectured by Professor Moshe Matalon of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and Professor William H. Green of Massachusetts Institute of Technology . In addition, we shall also offer three enrichment courses on: (3) Laser Diagnostics in Turbulent Combustion, lectured by Professor Andreas Dreizler of Technische Universitat Darmstadt, Germany; (4) Advanced Combustion Chemistry, jointly lectured by Dr. Stephen J. Klippenstein of the Argonne National Laboratories and Professor Tianfeng Lu of the University of Connecticut; and (5) Frontiers in Combustion Technologies, jointly lectured by Professor Yiguang Ju of Princeton University and Dr. George A. Richards of the National Energy Technology Laboratory, Department of Energy . Each of the above courses will consist of daily three-hour lectures for five weekdays . Additional technical activities of the Summer School will include a panel discussion on career development and opportunities, and poster sessions of work in progress by the participants.
